But don't get the wrong impression - if Bennett turns out to be Clarke or Forsberg or Richard in a combniination of skill and nastyness, I'm very OK with that. It's not like he will break a guys leg with a slash (that has to be hard to do) or take the cheap shots Clarke used to.

I know, I watched him play. But the game has changed. No one is suggesting Bennett might be the same dirty SOB that Clarke was, only that he has the same ferocity. But yeah, Clarke could be a real ass at times.
